Firearm Manufacturer Defendants File Motion for Judgement on the Pleadings in City of Gary Lawsuit

Defendants in the City of Gary public nuisance lawsuits are moving to end nearly quarter of a century of legal maneuverings after Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed HB 1235 into law last week. Today the defendants filed a joint motion for judgement on the pleadings with the court. Indiana’s law that reserves the right to seek legal action against the firearm industry to state authorities, instead of municipalities, went into immediate effect when it was signed March 15.

“The time has come to end this legal charade. The City of Gary has had nearly 25 years to present a case for their frivolous claims and hasn’t been able to do so. That’s because there was no substance to their outlandish claims,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “Indiana’s new law allows the firearm industry, the state of Indiana and the City of Gary, to end this legal fishing expedition. The defendants in this case are ready to move on and resign this case to the same category as the many others like it from that era over two decades ago. This case is, and always was, frivolous, an abuse of the legal system and a losing strategy to bypass state and federal legislatures to implement special-interest gun control policy through the courts instead of through the elected bodies that represent the will of the people.”

The City of Gary, Ind., first filed their claims in 1999, as part of a coordinated effort by 40 big city mayors who conspired together through the U.S. Conference of Mayors with lawyers from the gun control group Brady United (formerly known as the Brady Center), and trial lawyers.

All these municipal lawsuits have either been dismissed by the courts, e.g., Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Fransico, Detroit and St. Louis, or simply dropped by several cities, e.g., Boston, Cincinnati and Camden. Many of these municipal lawsuits were dismissed based on state preemption laws enacted between 1999 to 2001 and upon which H.B. 1235 is modeled. Read more

SK Customs Introduces Luchando Tigre

HAYMARKET, Va. –– SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the release of the third edition of the Untamed Series of the world’s deadliest predators: “Luchando Tigre.” This latest production in the series combines a native ritual and a deadly predator into one remarkable installment.

“Luchando Tigre” comes from the native Atsatsilisti ritual in the Mexican state of Guerrero to offer blood to the god Tláloc and the earth in exchange for the rain necessary for a good harvest. Dressed in a tiger personification and equipped with a rope bathed in mezcal, the tribute’s shed blood is the offering required by Tláloc to send the rain. A deadly tiger is depicted wrapping around the slide leaping toward its prey with teeth and claws bared, locked on tearing apart its prey.

“This year’s edition of the Untamed Series truly embodies the idea behind this line of custom guns,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “The tiger symbolism used in the Arsatslisti ritual for rain combined with the danger synonymous with the Bengal tiger that is depicted along the slide showcases the “tigris” subspecies century-old status as one of the most feared predators in the world.”

The tiger is covered in 24K gold and black-filled stripes with selective silver-plated eyes, teeth and claws. The Colt® logo decorates the rear left panel and the right is engraved with each gun’s unique issued series number. Read more
